She rejects the ML's initial offer to give a ride because she thought he was hitting on her and tells him she's waiting for her boyfriend. Yet, later on she keeps thinking he's interested in her because of that offer when she should've connected the dots that he offered likely to give the interview she has waited hours at the banquet for only to leave empty handed.

The whole misunderstanding about the new GF being the ML's lead is dumb because as a journalist how could she not fact check and investigate the woman's background. Especially when she has so many connections to all the financial big shots. The real niece is even the daughter of someone she had interviewed often, how could she not have the resources to figure out who the niece is. It's such a plot hole.

She kept telling him how much she likes him and obviously he starts to reciprocate. Even when she's exposed, she's never honest with her feelings. She just coldly apologizes and assumes his anger is due to her fooling him, who was born with a golden spoon and likely never been tricked. She never considers how much pain he's in because he developed real feelings for her. She blames him for his poor treatment but doesn't think about how only sincerity gets sincerity. She harps about how her ex kept chasing her and making all these efforts that moved her, so she trusted him. Then for her revenge she does the exact same thing to the ML but worse bc she had no real feelings for him.

ML had met FL before the beginning of the story and already showed interest in her. He chased after her only to see her with the BF. Makes no sense that he was already interested in her at some point that he'd make it so difficult for her to complete her scheduled interview with the ML and it felt so forced by the author to justify that he's so tolerant of her. FL is honestly tr*sh with how she tries everything to get him to fall for her to get revenge for something that ML had no connection to from the beginning. Even if supposedly, the new gf relies on her uncle, he's still an innocent party unless confirmed he wanted his niece to seduce the ex bf.

She just sends him an email with four sentences. Saying she sorry and doesn't expect his forgiveness, that she hopes he doesn't meet someone as terrible as her again, and well wishes. She doesn't do it in person. She doesn't acknowledge that she really developed feelings for him. She just leaves him with these basic words. Then it just jumps into him still harping on her and taking the initiative to take care of her when she's sick. She never gave a real apology before their romance started back up. It's so frustrating that it feels like she just got away with it without real consequences. I wish she had to grovel, recognize that she really fell and prove that she's so sure to him, rather than him going back bc he cares and can't really leave her alone. Feels like she got of easy.

i think they entered the real relationship at around chps 50. And between 40-50 is telling the FL's initial intention and how they deal with these
